I am about to set out on the obligatory and futile 3 hour hunt for metric parts in this BS town the the ********* of the USA, West Virginia.

When I get home again, does anyone know where I can order these on-line? Maybe a socket-bit set that includes a 9MM?

Thanks
just remember, wherever you go, there you are.

happiness is more in your mind than in where you are.
